when brown fat is oxidized it makes heat which warms blood flowing through the tissue
Term
what is non-shivering thermogenesis regulated by

mitochondria
Term
how does thermogenin work
Definition
uncouples oxidation of fatty acids from the production of ATP, it facilitates the movement of protons across the inner mitochondrial membrane, the movement of proteons across the inner compartment dissipates the mitochondrial proton gradient, uncoupling respiration from ATP synthesis producing energy for heat
